Darrell Ray Green (born February 15, 1960) is a former American football cornerback in the National Football League who played for the Washington Redskins from 1983 to 2002. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest cornerbacks to ever play football.[1] Green was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008.

The self-proclaimed "itty bitty guy,"[2] Green was nicknamed the "Ageless Wonder" by his peers and the general media[3][4] for his remarkable ability to maintain a high level of play well into the twilight of his career. Green was also known for his speed and was one of the fastest players in the history of the NFL.[3][5]

Contents

Early life

Green was born in Houston, Texas and attended Jesse H. Jones High School.[6] While there, he was an All-State selection in track and an All-City pick in football, in which he was a walk-on.[6][7] Green made the junior varsity football team his junior year, and then made the varsity team as a senior.[8]

College career

Green attended and played college football and track at Texas A&I University (now Texas A&M-Kingsville).[9] He finished his Bachelor of Science degree in general studies at St. Paul's College in Lawrenceville, Virginia.[10]

Football

In 1982, Green was selected by his teammates as captain,[11] was named a first team All-American, and was the Most Valuable Player in the Lone Star Conference.[9] During his senior year, Green had 56 tackles, four interceptions and two punt returns for touchdowns.[6] He was selected to the Lone Star Conference Team of the Decade for the 1980s.[11]

Track

In track and field, Green set numerous national and conference records and earned ten All-America certificates.[9] His first meet was in 1982 in San Angelo, Texas, where he ran a 10.08 in the 100-meter dash. The mark still stands as the all-time best in the Lone Star Conference.[11]

Green's all-time collegiate best in the 100 was 10.08, 20.50 in the 200 and 45.90 in the 400.[11] He was named the most valuable track performer at the 1982 and 1983 Lone Star Conference Championships. He won gold medals at the LSC meet in the 100-meter dash in 1981, in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes in 1982 and in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes in 1983.[11]

Green was named to the NCAA Division I All-America roster in 1981 and 1982, and was on the NCAA Division II All-America team in five events in 1981 and 1982. He was NAIA All-America in 1981 and 1982 in four events.[11]

Professional career

Green was the last player selected in the first round (28th overall) of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins. The first time he touched the ball, during a pre-season game against the Atlanta Falcons, he returned a punt 61 yards for a touchdown.[12] During his first regular-season game, he made his first big play when he ran down running back Tony Dorsett of the Dallas Cowboys to prevent a touchdown.[6][11] Green started all 16 regular season games during his rookie season and finished fourth on the team in tackles with 109 and led the team in solo tackles with 79.[12] He was runner-up for the Associated Press NFL Rookie of the Year Award.[12]

"Seeing Darrell come in to the NFL at his size
and background, and to last as long he did, he
was extraordinary. To stay healthy, not get hurt, and
perform at his level was an absolutely amazing
feat. He was a classic player and a classic person."

Sonny Jurgensen, on Darrell Green.[6]

During the strike-shortened 1987 season, the Redskins went 11–4 and Green had a very successful year. He registered a career-high three interceptions in a game against the Detroit Lions on November 15, 1987.[12] Two of his more notable performances occurred in that post season. One happened during a divisional playoff game against the Chicago Bears, where he returned a punt 52 yards for the game winning touchdown.[6] Green tore rib cartilage while vaulting over a tackler during the return, but he merely grabbed his side and kept running until he scored.[6] Then in the 1987 NFC Championship game, on a pivotal fourth-down pass play at the goalline late in the game, Green jarred the ball from Minnesota’s Darrin Nelson to secure a Redskins 17-10 victory that enabled the team to go to Super Bowl XXII.[6][12]

Green was also successful in the 1990s. In 1997, Green returned an interception 83 yards for a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, which was the longest return of his career.[6] Then on December 13, 1997, he played in his 217th career game as a Redskin, breaking Monte Coleman's record for games played.[13] In a 1999 game against the Arizona Cardinals, he intercepted his 50th NFL pass against Jake Plummer at FedExField.[6]

"Darrell signified perseverance and competitiveness,
and he was an all-around great guy at the same time.
We were able to watch him for 20 years, and as far
as I'm concerned he never failed us. He was always a
stalwart in the community and he always maintained a
good heart."

Bobby Mitchell, on Darrell Green.[6]

In his last game on December 29, 2002, Green and the Redskins defeated the Dallas Cowboys 20-14 at FedExField.[13] During the game, he returned a punt on a reverse from Champ Bailey for 35 yards which is the longest gain of any kind for a player his age (42 years, 327 days).[14]

Green retired after the 2002 season at the age of 42, the oldest Redskin, having played for six head coaches: Joe Gibbs, Richie Petitbon, Norv Turner, Terry Robiskie, Marty Schottenheimer and Steve Spurrier. Green and former Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams offensive lineman Jackie Slater are the only players in NFL history to play for the same team for 20 seasons.[15]

In his 20 NFL seasons, Green recorded 54 interceptions, which he returned for 621 yards and six touchdowns.[12] He also added two additional touchdowns on interception returns in the post season.[12] Three times he recorded a career-best of five interceptions in a season (1984, 1986, and 1991).[12] Green also returned 51 punts for 611 yards[12] and recovered 10 fumbles, returning them for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Also known for staying healthy, he missed just 25 games throughout his career.[6]

"Darrell epitomizes what an NFL player should be. In my
rookie season, he took me in and showed me the ropes,
all the while we were competing for the same position.
I looked up to him as a great player and a great man."

Fred Smoot, on Darrell Green.[6]

He is the four-time winner of the NFL's Fastest Man competition,[10] and the only undefeated multiple winner in NFL history.

Green was with the Redskins for their victories in Super Bowls XXII and XXVI, and started in their loss to the Los Angeles Raiders in Super Bowl XVIII.[12] Green recorded an interception in Super Bowl XXVI and a then-record 34-yard punt return in Super Bowl XVIII.[16]

Green was named All-Pro in 1986, 1987, 1990, and 1991 and was voted to seven Pro Bowls. He is a member of the National Football League 1990s All-Decade Team[12] as well as winning all four NFL Fastest Man competitions he participated in.[10][11] His pre-game rituals included eating and sticking Tootsie Rolls in his sock claiming that the candy helped him run fast.[17]

He currently sits on the boards of the Wolf Trap Foundation as its National Spokesman for Education and Marymount University.[10]

Honors

"This is incredible. It's so special. This
literally transcends football, everything I have
gone through to do what I was able to do. It
was more than the ability to run and cover. It
just goes so far beyond that."

Green, on being selected for the
Pro Football Hall of Fame.[3]

In 1999, while still active, Green was ranked number 81 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Football Players.[20]

Green has received honorary Doctorates of Humane Letters from Marymount University in 1999, and St. Paul's College and George Washington University in 2002.[10][21]

In 2004, Green was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 2, 2008. His fellow Hall of Fame classmates include former Redskins teammate Art Monk, and his former position coach Emmitt Thomas. Green has also been inducted into the NCAA Division II Hall of Fame, the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, the Lone Star Conference Hall of Honor and the Javelina Hall of Fame.[11]
